Tim.
You can buy kits??
Yes this is the one I bought

Basically if you get say a nail in the tyre, pull it out, use the bore tool to make a larger clean hole. Use the needle tool and thread the sticky rubber strip into the tool and then push the needle into the tyre and then twist and pull and it will leave the rubber plug behind, then just snip the plug level with the tyre. Theres some good demos on YouTube.
